Nucleotide sequence of an actin cDNA gene from Aplysia californica.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the complete nucleotide sequence of an Aplysia californica actin cDNA gene isolated from an abdominal ganglion cDNA library (Miles.M. and Scheller.R.H., Stanford University; unpublished) (Fig. 1). Using PCR technology, we showed that this actin cDNA is expressed in the sheath surrounding the neurons (probably in the muscular cells of the sheath), while another homologous actin gene is expressed in the neurons (Fig. 2).

Structural and functional analysis of Aplysia attractins, a family of water-borne protein pheromones with interspecific attractiveness.
Mate attraction in Aplysia involves a long-distance water-borne signal (the protein pheromone attractin), which is released during egg laying. Aplysia californica attractin attracts species that produce closely related attractins, such as Aplysia brasiliana, whose geographic distribution does not overlap that of A. californica. This finding suggests that other mollusks release attractin-related...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of cDNA encoding for preprochymosin in native goat (Capra hircus) from Iran
Prochymosin is one of the most important aspartic proteinases used as a milk-clotting enzyme in cheese production. In the present investigation we report sequence of cDNA encoding goat ( Capra hircus ) preprochymosin and compare its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with sequences of other ruminants preprochymosin. As bovine prochymosin, the caprine prochymosin cDNA encodes 365 amino ...
متن کاملSequence Analysis of M2 Gene of Avian Influenza Virus Strain (A/Chicken/Iran/101/98 (H9N2)) as an Oil Vaccine Seed
In this study, the full-length M2 gene of the avian influenza virus (H9N2) was isolated, analyzed and studied in detail. Total RNA was extracted and cDNA of the M2 mRNA was obtained by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using random hexamer oligoes; specific primers were used for amplification of the M2 open reading frame (ORF) region. PCR was able to amplify the desirable...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of cDNA clones and the corresponding genomic coding sequences of the Drosophila dunce+ gene, the structural gene for cAMP phosphodiesterase.
We have isolated and sequenced cDNA clones representing portions of the polyadenylylated transcripts of the dunce+ gene. These define an open reading frame of 1086 bases and some of the 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions of the transcripts. The deduced amino acid sequence is strikingly homologous to the amino acid sequence of a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase isolated...
متن کاملBuccalin-like and myomodulin-like peptides in the stomatogastric ganglion of the crab Cancer borealis.
The buccalins and myomodulins are families of peptides originally isolated and purified from the accessory radula closer (ARC) nerve–muscle system of the marine mollusc Aplysia californica (Cropper et al. 1987a,b, 1988). In A. californica, the buccalin family consists of 19 related peptides (buccalins A–S), each of which exhibits a homologous carboxyl terminal sequence, Phe-X-Gly-Gly-X-NH2 (Cro...
